EUROSTAT provides the LUCAS dataset, a multi-purpose survey on the state and the dynamics of changes in land use and cover in the European Union.
I wonder if there are any land classification projects (preferably public works), that make use of the LUCAS data base in combination with other (European-wide) geospatial data (remotely sensed or else) and/or land (cover and/or use) data bases.
In particular, I am interested in a nomenclature correspondence between LUCAS and other European schemes.
For examle, an attempt to assess CORINE's thematic accuracy using the LUCAS data set, is described in Fine scale profile of CORINE Land Cover classes with LUCAS data.

Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Mr Alan Shatter, T.D. secures Government approval for deployment of Defence Forces personnel with UNDOF Mission in Syria
The Government at today's meeting (16th July 2013) approved a proposal from the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Mr Alan Shatter, T.D. for the deployment of a contingent of the Permanent Defence Force for service with the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in Syria.
The Minister will proceed later this week to seek Dáil Éireann approval for the mission. This will complete the Triple Lock mechanism of UN, Government and Dáil approval before deploying members of the Defence Forces overseas as part of an International United Nations Force.
The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) was established on 31 May 1974 by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 350 (1974), following the agreed disengagement of the Israeli and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights in May 1974.
The escalation of the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic has affected the UNDOF area of operations significantly in recent months. If approved by Dáil Éireann, the role of the Defence Forces contingent will be to provide a mobile Company as Force Headquarters Reserve in UNDOF to cater for reinforcement, escort and other operations throughout UNDOF's Area of Responsibility.
Speaking following the Government decision, the Minister said: "UNDOF remains an important element in ensuring some level of stability in the region." He added "It is important that UNDOF has at its disposal all necessary means and resources to carry out its mandate safely and securely. The support of troop contributing countries, such as Ireland, to UNDOF, allows the mission to continue implementing its mandate in a safe and secure manner." He went on to say that "the proposed deployment of an Irish contingent to UNDOF, if approved by Dáil Éireann, would bring the strength of the mission up to the authorised level of 1,250."
Note to Editor
On 1 July 2013, Ireland received a request from the United Nations to consider contributing to UNDOF a Mechanised Infantry Company for the tasks of a Force Mobile Reserve. The Defence Forces have previous experience in a similar role in Liberia and Lebanon.
Following Government approval, three members of the Permanent Defence Force were deployed in June 2013 to the UNDOF mission headquarters at Camp Faouar in the Golan Heights. A fourth member of the Permanent Defence Force will be deployed to the mission HQ shortly.
The mandate of the UNDOF mission was recently renewed under UN Security Council Resolution 2108 (2013) for a further period of six months.
UNDOF is assisted by over eighty (80) military observers from the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation's (UNTSO) Observer Group Golan, which currently includes ten (10) Irish Officers.

This week I am documenting a little bit about Israel Foss. Israel was the son of Benjamin and Sarah (Mitchell) Foss. I believe that I am a descendant of Benjamin through Israel. So I am going to flip through the original records of Machias to see what I can find about the children of Israel & Betsey (Connors) Foss.
On page 9 the first name is missing, but the birth date matches Sarah Foss from later on in the records.
Ann Foss Israel and Betsey Foss 1 March 1807
On page 19 the marriage of Israel and Betsey Connors is recorded. Unfortunately there is no date that can be found with the record. It looks as though the original page is torn where the date would have been. It also ripped partially through Betsey's name.
Israel Foss } Machias
tsey Connors
On page 31 the death of Sarah Ann Foss is recorded. The date is in conflict with the date Betsey Foss provided later in the records. I am going to use the date found on this page as the death date.
Sarah Ann Foss 29 Nov 1808
On page 41 Lucy's birth is recorded. The page is torn and the L in Lucy is missing. Interestingly, this is the first entry that I find that calls Betsey by Elizabeth.
ucy Foss Israel + Elizabeth Foss March 2nd 1813
On page 64 the birth of Charles is found. It looks like the day is written as 12, but is written as a 14 in the report by Betsey later.
Charles Foss Decem 12 1805 Israel & Eliza Foss
On page 71 the birth of Lucy is recorded again.
Lucy Foss 2 March 1813 Israel + Elizth Foss
On page 115 the births of the children Israel and Betsey (Connors) Foss can be found. This was submitted to the town clerk by Betsey Connor. I feel very fortunate that this record was submitted.

Principal, Minneapolis
At BCG, Storytellers synthesize complex information and ideas. They believe in bringing the whole team together to get a broader perspective. Kelsey finds clarity in a complex world.
The best part of working at BCG is the people I meet. Whether it's the clients, my case team, or the wider BCG network, I'm continuously motivated and challenged by the diverse outlook and set of experiences everyone brings to the table.
I came into BCG straight out of university, knowing very little about how the "business world" worked but with a great curiosity to see and learn as much as I could. Like many, I expected to be here at most two years; I wanted to build up my personal skill set and figure out where I wanted to end up.
Somehow it's more than seven years later, as well as two offices, three cities, and a three-year leave of absence later, and I'm still with BCG. Nothing else I've seen or explored offers the same exposure to business problems and business leaders, nor the same opportunity to make an impact. The learning curve has not flattened—just when I think I have this job figured out, a new role, a new industry, or a new function changes everything and keeps me continuously challenged and engaged.
Kelsey completed her undergrad in the Huntsman Program at the University of Pennsylvania, studying business and international relations, and holds an MBA from London Business School.
There is no typical day at BCG—in fact, that's one of my favorite things about the job. The variety keeps me engaged and energized, and I enjoy never quite knowing what the day will hold. That said, I normally start my day looking through what the team sent over from the day before and making sure I'm up to speed on the team's work and findings. As a project leader, I look at the big picture, making sure the team is working on the issue holistically and that all logistics are running smoothly. I then spend my day with the team, discussing any issues they're facing, and with clients, building buy-in for our solutions. Then I'm home to make dinner and hopefully some down time!
I would probably be working somehow in food or wine. I attended culinary school and have also taken some sommelier classes—I love cooking, entertaining people, and making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. My passion definitely lies in that direction; however, I always wonder if having to cook and entertain would take the fun out of it and make it into a job. Luckily at BCG, we work with a large number of food, beverage, and hospitality companies, so I've gotten to immerse myself in the industry while remaining distant enough to still enjoy it!
I can truly say that I would not still be at BCG without the mentors I have today. My mentors provide guidance on my career, my current case, and office or staffing issues. But more than that, they are a sounding board for my wider plans and inspiration for how to be successful not only at BCG but in life. The power of having someone say "I believe in you and your career here" cannot be understated; it gives me space to make mistakes and learn, and the motivation to push through even hard times.

Vatican Judges Find Computer Tech's Testimony Not Credible
The computer technician was convicted last month of aiding and abetting Pope Benedict XVI's former butler, Paolo Gabriele, in his theft of sensitive documents.
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican court said in a detailed sentence issued Dec. 1 that the testimony given by computer technician Claudio Sciarpelletti was neither "credible" nor "truthful."
The court found the computer technician guilty of aiding and abetting the former butler to Pope Benedict XVI, Paolo Gabriele, in his theft of sensitive documents.
The sentence was handed down Nov. 10 and was filed Dec. 1 as the final installment of the "Vatileaks" saga. It is not unusual for Italian courts to deposit sentences weeks after the handing down of a verdict.
Sciarpelletti was originally sentenced to four months in prison, but his sentence was reduced two months due to extenuating circumstances.
His conviction came as part of the Vatican's investigation into the theft of private documents belonging to Pope Benedict, which were then leaked to a journalist who published them in a bestselling book.
Gabriele was given an 18-month prison sentence in a separate trial, which ended in October. He is serving out his sentence in a Vatican Gendarmerie prison cell.
Sciarpelletti, 48, was arrested for a short time in May after his lawyer said an anonymous tip led to the search of his desk. An envelope was found addressed to Gabriele containing copies of documents that had been leaked to the Italian media.
Gianluca Benedetti, who represented Sciarpelletti in the case, argued in court that his client was in an "emotional state" when he gave confused and contradictory testimony to investigators, leading to the charges leveled against him.
The sentence records that Sciarpelletti changed his story a number of times about how secret documents came into his possession.
When asked about his changing story at his trial, Sciarpelletti said he had the document so long that he forgot where it came from. His changing story led to the prosecutor seeking obstruction charges.
The testimony of both Gabriele and Msgr. Carlo Polvani, Sciarpelletti's superior, were deemed to be more credible and consistent than his.
Judge Giuseppe Dalla Torre noted the computer technician's long years of service at the Vatican, but he said the court concluded Sciarpelletti had helped Gabriele "elude the investigations of the authorities" at the Vatican.
The judge ordered that the computer technician's criminal conviction not appear on his permanent record.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder is traveling Michigan to pressure Republican senators to get back to the Capitol — stat — and vote to provide health insurance to nearly half the state's uninsured residents.
One hitch: The Senate and House chambers are likely out of commission for at least two months as new carpet is installed and technology is upgraded.
When lawmakers adjourned a week ago, crews immediately removed desks and ripped out Victorian-era replica carpet that was at least 20 years old and held together in places with duct tape. Now, backup plans are in the works in case Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, decides to hold a vote on Medicaid expansion before Aug. 27, the next day that attendance is to be taken and votes recorded.
Options include meeting in the Capitol's Senate Appropriations room — less ideal because it's small for all 38 senators, their staff, press and the public — or the historic Boji Tower across the street, which has a large committee hearing room on the first floor.
It's also possible the senators could still gather in the chamber depending on what work is going on at the time, said Senate Secretary Carol Viventi.
"If we need to hold session, we will find a place to do it," said Ari Adler, spokesman for House Speaker Jase Bolger, R-Marshall.
Workers also are updating technology under the House and Senate floors — cables for the electronic voting systems, computer wiring and electrical adapters. Hearing loops are being installed in the viewing galleries so it's easier for people with hearing aids and cochlear implants to listen.
Without the electronic voting boards, votes could be tallied by voice or hand like in the old days. When the Capitol was renovated from 1989 to 1992, senators met at times in a Capitol committee room while representatives gathered in an office building that has since been turned into a parking garage.
The Capitol upgrades are another twist in Snyder's months-long push for Medicaid expansion, an option for states under the federal health care law. The Republican governor cut short a trade trip in Israel last week — scheduled months ago for a week when the Legislature was supposed to be gone — to try to save a House plan approved two weeks ago that he sees as a pragmatic way to make the Affordable Care Act a positive for Michigan and to save money.
But Richardville wants at least half of the Senate's 26 Republicans to back Medicaid expansion or at least support proceeding with a vote. Expansion advocates believe if a vote had been called, eight to 11 Republicans would have joined all 12 Democrats to send a measure to Snyder's desk.
Related story: Final Michigan budget omits Medicaid expansion money
Richardville spokeswoman Amber McCann said the majority leader didn't hold a vote June 20 because the bill would have been defeated.
"He truly believes it would have ended the discussion on Medicaid," she said. "The expansion of an entitlement program is not typically a Republican value."
To pressure reluctant GOP senators in their districts and drum up public support, Snyder has visited four hospitals this week to call for a vote while meeting with sympathetic medical and business officials who support adding 470,000 low-income adults to Medicaid.
Richardville on Wednesday named a group of six Republican senators to meet over the summer to consider the issue. The group has no timeline to make a recommendation, though Snyder says time is running out if Michigan is to get federal approval in time to cover new enrollees starting Jan. 1.
The next technical legislative session day is Wednesday — when Senate Democrats plan to show up — though no one expects action. Non-voting session days also have been scheduled for July 18, Aug. 2 and Aug. 16, and Snyder is going to keep demanding a vote on those days.
Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said his visits around the state are getting senators' attention.
"If you step back and take the politics away from it, from a policy standpoint it's the right thing to do," she said.

I'm about to finish my first own (serious) R-package these days (more on the package itself later). While writing my package, I collected a handful of commands and notes etc. that proofed to be helpful, and saved them in a R-script.

Spring Training
I love Spring Training. It's a time of hope; a time of wondering and talking. Everyone has the same record this time of year. Everyone has the same dream: The World Series.
Astros fans have a lot of questions after this offseason: How will our suspect rotation hold up? Who will man third base? Who will be the catcher? I've made my predictions in other areas. This entry won't be used for that. Instead, I'd like to turn my attention elsewhere.
56 players reported to the Astros' Spring Training facilities. 28 pitchers and 28 position players. And one question on everyone's mind, especially after hearing so much about our horrible farm system is: What new faces can we expect to see this year? What can we expect of them?
New Faces
Gone is Ty Wigginton. Gone is Randy Wolf. Brad Ausmus. Mark Loretta. In their place are some faces many Astros fans may not recognize. Among them are some big league commodities new to the team:
Alberto Arias – The Astros claimed Arias off of waivers from the Rockies last season, on July 31. He pitched at Round Rock and, for three games (including 2 starts), in Houston at the major league level. He didn't respond terribly well in his limited time, but such a small sample size (8.0 IP) could easily be ignored. He will be 25 years old this year and has only thrown 29.0 big league innings. He has nice minor league numbers, and projects well to Minute Maid Park, with about 55% of balls hit off of him being hit on the ground. Projection: Could spend some time in the big league bullpen, or pressed into service as a starter. Look for about 50 innings from Arias, but nothing mind-blowing.
Jose Capellan – Astros fans will remember Capellan for his time in the Milwaukee Brewers' bullpen, though he last pitched for the Rockies in 2008. Though he hasn't started in the majors since 2 games in 2004 with Atlanta, he will be allowed to compete for a starting rotation spot in Houston. His time in the minors has been split between the bullpen and the rotation, with decent results. Over the past three seasons, he's thrown 91.2 innings in the minors with a 1.26 WHIP, 7-4 record, 4 saves, and a 4.12 ERA. Over the same time, he's thrown 99.2 less impressive innings in the majors with a 1.36 WHIP, 4-5 record, 80 strikeouts to 40 walks, and a 4.69 ERA. Projection: The hope is always that a little stability will help a player who's been moved around. In the past three season, Capellan has pitched for the Brewers, Tigers, and Rockies, not to mention five minor league teams among those three systems, along with the Royals organization. That's not likely to change, though, as he looks like he'll go between Round Rock and Houston frequently. Look for 60-70 innings in the big leagues, with an ERA in the 4.50-5.00 range.
Danny Graves – Most Astros fans will remember Danny from his time in Cincinnati from 1997-2005, most of it as their closer while he moved to #50 on the all-time saves list. He has bounced around since then, and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2006, when he threw just 14.0 relief innings with the Cleveland Indians. He hasn't had an ERA under 4 since 2004. 2008 was a forgettable year spent in the Minnesota Twins' organization, most of it with the AAA Rochester Red Wings. He went 4-6 there, with an ERA of 6.30, WHIP of 1.70, and just 32 strikeouts in 84.1 innings. Projection: I don't expect Graves to break through to the Major League level at all this year. He has not shown that he can consistently be counted on as a pitcher at the big league level.
Clay Hensley – Hensley showed a lot of promise early on with the Padres organization, and was projected along with Jake Peavy and Chris Young to be a dominant top of the rotation. In 2007, he ran into some injury problems, and was sent to AAA Portland after struggling in his minor league rehab stints. Despite his 5.31 ERA and 1-2 record (mostly out of the bullpen) in 2008 in limited time (39.0 IP) for the Padres, his time in Portland was very productive: 1-1 in 10 starts, 34 strikeouts and 16 walks in 48 IP, a WHIP of 1.29 and an ERA of 3.94. Prior to his injury-plagued 2007 season, he was 12-13 with a 3.30 ERA, 1.278 WHIP, and 150 strikeouts to 93 walks. Projection: I have high hopes for Hensley. I expect him to break camp as the #5 starter. I'm looking for 7-9 wins out of him, as he returns to form i
n his second season back from injury.
Russ Ortiz – Ortiz is a fresh face in Houston after missing the 2008 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. For his major league career, he is 110-82 with a 4.42 ERA, 1.479 WHIP, and 1,121 strikeouts in 1568.2 innings pitched. Since 2005, he hasn't thrown more than 115 innings in a season, and hasn't had an ERA under 4 since 2003, when he went 21-7 and finished 4th in the Cy Young voting (pay close attention to the year.) Projection: I don't expect Ortiz to shake the injury bug completely, but do expect him to crack the major league roster for somewhere in the vicinity of 60 IP.
Aaron Boone – Boone's most productive years came between 1997-2003 with the Reds, but his most memorable moment in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, when he hit the game-winning home run for the Yankees off of Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox. Since then, he has bounced between the Indians, Marlins, and Nationals. Boone is still a major league commodity. He plays all infield positions, and though he's been inconsistent, he does still show flashes at the plate and in the field. Projection: There's no doubt Boone will get some starts at third this year, and probably at second and first, as well. He should hit in the .250 range, with 5 or 6 home runs in 175 or so plate appearances.
Jason Michaels – Michaels came to Houston after 8 seasons between Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. He's a career .271 hitter (.345 OBP) with the ability to play all three outfield positions. Not a standout, but a very good player to have on the bench, and an upgrade when Michael Bourn doesn't pan out. Projection: 200 plate appearances with a .260 batting average and 5 home runs. Will be used, along with Erstad, to spell the outfield starters and provide a defensive replacement in left field late in games.
Toby Hall – Formerly the starting catcher of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Hall has spent the last three seasons between the Rays, White Sox, and Dodgers. Coming into the 2009 season, the Astros were looking for a veteran presence behind the plate to help out their youngsters – Palmisano, Castro, Towles, Quintero – at least through Spring Training. The news that he has shoulder soreness hasn't helped his already-weak case to make the team. Projection: Hall will probably start the season at AAA Round Rock, but uncertainty with the youngsters will virtually guarantee a lot of movement at the catcher position. He should pick up about 120 plate appearances, hit about .238 with a home run or two. Don't expect too much.
John Gall – Gall has failed to blow anyone away in his few major league appearances, but hasn't had much of an opportunity to shine. Between 2005-2007, he's had just 53 at-bats with the Marlins and Cardinals. However, in his minor league career, he's gone .298 (.356 OBP) with 115 home runs in over 3,700 at-bats over 9 seasons, mostly in the St. Louis organization. He plays the corners, both in the oufield and the infield. Projection: I don't know if Gall will play in the majors this season, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me, if only because of his defensive versatility – anyone who can play third base should get a chance to ply his trade in Houston this year. Gall has shown a lot of promise in the minors, and deserves a chance to spend some time in the majors. I think he will get at least 50 plate appearances this season.
Matt Kata – Since 2005, Matt Kata has spent time with the Diamondbacks, Reds, Pirates, Phillies, and Rangers organizations, though very little of that time was spent in the majors. None in 2008. He's a versatile utility man who could be called on in a pinch – he plays all positions but pitcher and catcher and has a .242 career batting average in the majors. Projections: I don't expect Kata to break into the majors this year, as the Astros have two utilitymen in Geoff Blum and David Newhan who are significantly better Matt Katas than Matt Kata is.
Jason Smith – Jason Smith was a questionable signing from the start. A left-handed-hitting utility infielder who has spent time over the last 8 seasons between 7 teams: The Cubs, Devil Rays, Tigers, Rockies, Blue Jays, Diamond
backs, and Royals. Not a terrific fielder (3.23 RFg, .968 F%), not a terrific hitter (.221/.259/.286), not a terrific anything. The quintessential no-tool player. Projection: If Smith plays at the major league level, the Astros are in serious trouble. I don't expect this to happen.
Next up, in addition to the new faces are the young faces: Guys like Bud Norris, Sergio Perez, and Chris Johnson who have come up through the Astros' system.

Bay wants to remain with the Red Sox:
I'm not trying to set a precedent. Just looking for something that's fair. ... I'd still love to get something done here. I like it here. But that being said, we just basically at this point right now don't want it to be an ongoing distraction ... But the way things have gone so far, like I said, very encouraged with that.Epstein:
I think we were really hopeful with the aggressive offer that we made that we could have reached a deal now. But we have complete respect for Jason as a player and a person and for what free agency means to players. He's worked his whole career and had a really consistent career to get to a point where he can set his family up for life. ... We'll see what the future brings. We still want to retain him.Epstein also spoke about Julio Lugo:
[O]wnership has been consistent that we'll do what we need to do to keep the best possible team on the field. A sunk cost is a sunk cost. ... This was one of the free agent signings that doesn't work out. We were paying for past performance, not current performance. That's the true definition of a mistake, and as the decision-maker, that's on me.Epstein, on the trading deadline:
I think we don't have one glaring weakness, [but] there are opportunities to get better. Exactly which opportunities we pursue or try to pursue relates probably more to health than anything else. ...
We want to create as much depth and redundancy as we possibly can, because if you don't address depth before July 31 or in some cases in August, then you're left without an opportunity to do so down the stretch and into what we hope will be another postseason.

Canine distemper virus
Canine distemper virus
Virus in the Paramyxoviridae family (enveloped RNA). It survives in cold climates but is not very resistant to heat and desiccation. It can be destroyed with detergents, lipid solvents, ether, chloroform and quaternary ammonium disinfectants.
Highly contagious and often fatal infectious disease that affects dogs and other carnivores, with high morbidity and worldwide distribution. Animals between 3 to 6 months old are the most affected.
Infected animals can shed the virus through all bodily secretions and excretions (up to 90 days post infection). The virus infects the animal through airborne exposure.
Highly variable, depending on the tissues or organs affected.
- General: depression, leukopenia (decreased white blood cells), anorexia and fever.
- Mild respiratory symptoms that usually worsen rapidly.
- Cutaneous signs: hyperkeratosis (thickening of the skin) of the nose and paw pads and loss of tooth enamel.
- Digestive signs: decreased consistency and colour of stools.
- Nervous signs: convulsions, ataxia (difficulty in coordinating movements), paresis (muscle paralysis), myoclonus (involuntary jerking or muscle contraction).
In order to establish a diagnosis, the history, age, medical signs and vaccination status of the animal must be taken into account. Specific laboratory tests can be used to detect the presence of the virus.
Treatment of the disease is aimed at limiting secondary bacterial infections, aiding the balance of fluids in the body, maintaining the general welfare of the dog and controlling nervous system manifestations. None of the known treatments is specific or succeeds every time. Many animals will not survive the disease and many are left with neurological sequelae.

Fayette softball: Fayette's softball tournament hopes were dashed Friday when Hilltop's Jagielski tossed a one-hitter.
The Cadets scattered runs across four innings to finish with a 10-0 victory in five innings.
Shenae Nuoffer took the loss for Fayette.
Fayette track: Fayette's track teams produced just one league champion in this year's BBC event, along with three seconds and six thirds.
Hilltop was the easy winner in the boys standings with 165 points, but the next three spots were tightly contested. Edon finished with 99, Pettisville with 91 and Fayette with 85. North Central trailed with 46 and Stryker with 37.
In the girls standings, Edon edged Pettisville 161-157, followed by North Central at 104. Hilltop finished with 32 while Fayette and Stryker tied at 31.
"Everybody did really well," coach Andrew Van Zile said. "The boys placed fourth, but missed second place by only 14 points."
Van Zile looks ahead to a better season next year with so many young competitors on the squads.
"If we get some more kids out, we could be a winning team," he said, adding that Hilltop will still be a big challenge next year.
Austin Hylander was the BBC champion in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of :16.7. He also picked up fourth place in the 330-meter hurdles, while teammate Shelby Franks took second (:44.9). Franks also was second best in the long jump at 18-1.25 and fourth in the 100-meter dash at :11.9.
Nathan Stoltzfus came through with a good 1600-meter run, Van Zile said.
"He nipped the two Livenspargers in the final 100 meters," he said. "All of a sudden he just wen into another gear."
Van Zile was also pleased with Darrell Randall's 3200-meter run—a race the freshman didn't really want to enter. Randall was convinced to run it and came through in sixth place.
The biggest disappointment of the day for Coach Van Zile was Erica Goeltzenleuchter's nagging ankle injury. She was hoping she would be able to compete again and she did manage to scored fourth in the 1600-meter run, but her time was off and Van Zile pulled her from the 3200 event to avoid risking further injury.
The sophomore still has a promising career ahead and he wants to make sure she's ready for the future.
Morenci baseball: The Bulldog baseball team suffered a pair of big league losses in the last week, but the weekend action was more to coach Roger Pontious's liking.
Morenci lost a close 4-3 decision to Addison at the Panthers' tournament Saturday before falling to Farwell 8-2.
"The kids really came together," Pontious said about the Addison game. "Their coach said it was a totally different Morenci team than the first time we played."
In some ways, it was a different team. Two more players were lost due to ineligibility and the Bulldog roster has shrunk to 10.
Devin Martinez pitched the entire game for Morenci, striking out four and walking six.
Anthony Barron put Morenci on top early with a two-run homer, but costly errors allowed Addison to get back in the game. Morenci left the bases loaded in the top of the seventh.
Barron fanned eight Farwell batters in the rain-delayed second game and gave up four hits.
CLINTON—Coach Pontious saw a good team effort Monday when Clinton visited, but the contest fell apart for the Bulldogs late in the game.
Clinton turned a 6-0 sixth-inning lead into a 12-0 win.
Clinton's sophomore pitcher fanned 14 Morenci batters and gave up only single hits to Martinez, Nick Wilson, Isaac Jeffers and Steven Pontious.
SUMMERFIELD—Summerfield's promising freshman hurler tossed a one-hitter last week as Morenci fell 14-0. Only Barron came through with a base hit, and he tool the loss on the mound.
Morenci softball: With top-ranked Summerfield leading by a run after their half of the seventh inning here Thursday, some of the team's fans started folding their chairs to prepare for the victorious drive home.
Big mistake, said Morenci coach Kay Johnson when she learned about it later.
It's softball superstition to never pack up gear if you're leading in the seventh inning. Someone should have told the fans to keep their chairs in place because there was a lot more coming up in this game.
With the Bulldogs up to bat, Megan Cox reached first on an error and advanced on a sacrifice by Chandler McCaskey. Brooke Barrett drove her home to tie the game at 4-4, and it never ended until four innings later.
Summerfield finally put a runner across the plate in the top of the eleventh with a walk sandwiched between a pair of base hits.
By this time, Summerfield's chairs were back in use and they stayed put as Morenci came up to bat. After a ground out, Tess Ramsey drew a walk and scored when freshman Meghan Smith drilled the ball to the right center fence for a triple.
Rachael Rutkowski drew a walk and Salena Martinez was intentionally walked to load the bases.
Cox—number eight in the lineup—put a blooper behind the first baseman and the game ended as Smith crossed the plate.
The 6-5 loss was nothing to shrug at for Summerfield (15-6) who was rated number one in Div. IV last week. It bumped them from the Tri-County Conference tie with Clinton as the season winds down.
The Bulldogs lost 9-0 to Summerfield two weeks earlier and it looked as though a repeat might be in the works as the visitors took a 3-0 lead in the first inning after a pair of Morenci errors.
But Summerfield started off their first time in the field with an error and Barrett scored on a triple by Nicolette Swimmer. Swimmer came home on a pick-off attempt for a 3-2 score.
Morenci stranded a pair of runners in the second inning, but Swimmer scored in the third on a sacrifice by Ramsey.
Summerfield went ahead 4-3 in the fourth inning and held on until Morenci tied it in the seventh.
Morenci Track: Morenci will send seven athletes to compete in five events at the Div. IV state meet May 31 at Grand Rapids Forest Hills Eastern High School.
The Bulldogs produced one regional champion when junior Lucas Johnson gave a career best in the discus with a toss of 143-4.
In the preliminary rounds Johnson couldn't get out of the 120-foot range, but he came through with two tosses in the 140s in the finals. His top throw was about nine feet better than second place.
Morenci had two medal winners in the 200-meter dash. Chas Frey will advance to the state meet with his second-place finish at :22.99, Josh DuPree who crossed the line at :22.26. Nathan Grieder ended up in eighth place with a time of :26.21. Frey cut two-tenths of a second off his previous best.
After cruising through a speedy opening leg of the 3200-meter relay, Zach Phillips couldn't match his time in the open 800-meter dash, but his fifth place finish at 2:05.2 met the qualifying time for a trip to Grand Rapids. Phillips ran a 2:01 earlier in the week. Pittsford's Josh Hatfield ran a 2:00.43 Saturday at Hillsdale College.
The Bulldogs' 400-meter relay team (Brandon Correa, Frey, Reese Graham and Justin Swett) didn't make it as a top-two finisher, but their fifth-place time of :46.22 met the state qualifying mark. The winners from Camden-Frontier ran a :45.81
Morenci's final qualifier also made the cut by meeting the state minimum. Freshman Phoenix Duncan placed fifth overall, but her 5-0 leap will send her to Grand Rapids. Whitney Thorp of Reading won at 5-4. Morenci's Tricia Black placed eighth at 4-10.
Morenci's boys placed third overall with 57 points, behind Sand Creek's 88 and Jonesville's 81.
The girls finished 11th of 16 teams with 23 points. Reading was on with 112.5 points.
Waldron's Tim Jagielski was the regional champ in both the 1600-meter run (4:31) and the 3200-meter run (9:58.5).

Children's Museum of Northern Nevada 'grandma' bids farewell
Guy Foster has been bringing his three daughters to the Children's Museum of Northern Nevada since the oldest, now 14, was a year old. In that time, they have always been greeted by Mary Ann Weiss.
"She's basically synonymous with the museum," he said. "She's a kind and wonderful person."
The Foster family joined others in bidding farewell to Weiss, who is retiring after nearly 16 years on the job.
"It's just unbelievable," she said of the crowds of people gathered around to wish her well and send her off with gifts in a surprise going-away party at the museum. "I didn't know this was going to happen. It's a big surprise."
Weiss approached the museum staff in June 1997 to teach an arts-and-crafts class. It was a Thursday, she recalls.
"On Friday morning, they gave me a key," she said. "I've been here ever since."
She said she has worked nearly every position, answering phones, acting as receptionist and doing all-around oversight of the museum. But her favorite part, she said, has been interacting with the children and their families.
"I have a love for the museum and for the kids that come in," she said. "I've seen lots of children grow up."
Lu Olsen, director of the Children's Museum, said Weiss will be missed for her tender touch. Olsen said people who remember Weiss from their childhoods are now returning to the museum with their own children.
"She has been like a grandma to the kids' kids," she said. "That's what we're going to miss the most — that loving, caring grandma type."
Sandy Hatchell, who was on the original board of directors for the Children's Museum, said Weiss has been instrumental in the museum's long-term success.
She said it was Weiss who suggested the museum add a gift shop.
"It was a really grand move," Hatchell said. "It's been a good financial support for the museum over the years."
Weiss said she decided to leave to spend more time with her husband. But she doesn't plan on slowing down.
She and her husband, who recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., with fellow World War II veterans through Honor Flights Nevada, have decided to volunteer with that organization. They would like to visit local elementary schools to talk about his experiences in the military.
And she plans to visit the museum frequently.
"I don't think I could stay away," she said.

The objective of Kera Energy is to help the development of solar cooking and support the success of its ownership in Africa. This is a job that requires significant partnerships with local stakeholders in raising awareness, support, and manufacturing.
Kera Energy belives that solar cookers should be tailored to the energy needs of users, but also their culinary habits. To accomplish this, it's necessary to identify the needs, customs, and traditions of the areas where solar cookers are being deployed. Each situation requires a different approach depending on the issues and energy alternatives available on site.

have you ever read a blog that just warms you up inside and puts that small smile on your face? that was me the first time i visted the Little Moments blog. Heather has a way of writing that just takes you in. Some of my favorite posts are: Puddle Hunting, Legos are Meant to Be Broken, and Pretending to Read = Learning to Read.
Hello fellow Crayon Freckles readers! I'm Heather and I write over at Little Moments. I share topics on child development, activities, behavior, and everything in between. Through snapshots of our life in a household with two boys, I've been inspired to share my passion for early childhood, and how little moments can have a lasting impact on children. My boys have a bit of an age gap between them, Aidan will be five years old on Halloween, and Devin is almost seven months. Age doesn't matter though because they are brothers and I love watching their growing bond.
To be in my shoes wouldn't require any shoes at this point in my life. I live in central Florida and I go barefoot quite a bit. Otherwise you can still see my toes in a pair of one of my many flip flops when I'm not running or biking outside...I like to keep my feet protected from the occasional fire ant!
The most challenging part of being the type of mom I am are the battles I have over the many versions of myself.
- I'm a stay at home mom, but I still have the urge to go back to work and do the other thing I love.
- I'm a mom with a husband in the military, but I don't want my husband's career to define who I am.
- I'm a little bit of a free-range mom, but I still find myself restricting certain activities. One example; I don't let Aidan go to the pond a few houses down during alligator mating season with the neighbor boys because I think one is less likely to show up during any other time of the year...I think I may be overreacting to this one a little.
- I'm a breastfeeding mom, and I don't love every minute of it.
- I'm a positive discipline mom, but despite how hard I work at using it I still struggle.
- I'm a mom who prefers simple open-ended materials when it comes to toys and art. With all the technology being injected into toys I sometimes have a hard time letting my son have them. I hate hearing my son say, "what does it do?" if he's looking at a toy that has no buttons.
- I'm a get outside and play kind of mom, but there are days when we don't because we just don't feel like it, and then we go stir crazy.
The most rewarding part of being the types of mom I am, is realizing the moment when my hard work has paid off.
- Being at home allows me to see the growth and accomplishments my boys make first hand, and I also feel less stressed about spending time with them.
- Being part of a military family has great community benefits and has supported me as a mother. The opportunity to see and try things we may not have had access to otherwise is wonderful.
- Seeing Aidan's confidence in achieving something, and the look on his face when he realizes he can do it, is why I let him try things others may perceive as "dangerous."
- Despite the few downsides for me, the bonding and health benefits of my choice to breastfeed my baby are all I need...and the extra snuggles!
- I have learned a lot about myself, as well as my older son, in the process of embracing positive discipline.
- I've realized a few toys that can only be used in one way will not ruin my son's imagination or critical thinking skills. He surprises me every day and has embraced things he's not as comfortable with because I've modeled that I will try and do the same.
- Watching Devin stare into trees at the billowing leaves and chirping birds make me smile. Witnessing Aidan protect a lizard or frog from getting hurt or picking up litter is a reward for me. I love that he utilizes what I've been teaching him about caring for where we live, even if we don't enjoy it every day.
The most important value I feel others can instill in their children is to love learning. If you love learning you are more likely to seek answers to ideas or better understand issues and other people you are not familiar with. One of my favorite quotes explains why I feel this way...
Since we cannot know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned. -Holt
If my children could describe me in three words I think Devin would say food, love, and fun. I don't think further explanation is needed for someone who is still a baby! I asked Aidan this question and he described me as, "nice, fair, and plays." I thought fair was an interesting word choice and I have no idea what prompted him to choose it. But if he thinks I'm fair I must be doing something right.
I am very thankful to be in my shoes, and I appreciate the time you took to walk with me.

Idaho Power to buy energy from Boise-based Exergy's four 10-MW wind projects near Rogerson, Idaho; applications were submitted just days before state reduced size of projects that qualify for set rate from 10 MW to 100 kW
February 18, 2011
(press release)
– Four wind projects developed by Boise-based Exergy Development will be able to sell their output to Idaho Power Company, but only after the Idaho Public Utilities Commission approved the sales agreements with some provisions to address concerns expressed by Idaho Power.
Applications for the four 10-megawatt projects in the Rogerson area were submitted just four days before the effective date of a commission order that reduced the size of wind and solar projects that can qualify for a commission posted rate from 10-megawatts to 100 kilowatts. Idaho Power and two other major electric utilities operating in Idaho asked for a reduction in the size of projects that can qualify for published rates due to the rapid development of large wind projects that are broken up into smaller 10-MW projects in order to qualify for the commission posted rate.
Idaho Power said it would accept these four projects to comply with its federal PURPA mandate to accept power generated from qualifying renewable facilities but, at the same time, stated that the "continuing and unchecked requirement" for Idaho Power to acquire additional intermittent generation regardless of the utility's need for additional energy "increases the price its customers must pay for their energy needs."
Idaho Power also stated that the growing number of small wind projects is circumventing its planning process and creating system reliability and operational issues.
To address some of Idaho Power's concerns, the agreements state that Idaho Power can curtail generation from the four projects without compensation to the developer under certain conditions. Those conditions include times when generation on Idaho Power's total system approaches minimum levels needed to serve customers and further acceptance of the wind would have a detrimental effect on the utility's ability to simultaneously manage the generation also coming from thermal, hydro and other resources.
Commission staff did not have objections to the curtailment provision, but stated that if non-compensated curtailment became frequent, the economic viability of the projects could be adversely affected.
The agreement also states that it is up to the wind developer to work with Idaho Power's business delivery unit to ensure that interconnection facilities and transmission upgrades are completed in time to meet the projects' scheduled operation date of June 30, 2012. If the projects fail to meet their delivery dates, delay damages will be assessed.
Idaho Power maintains it now has about 470 MW of wind generation and could have 1,100 MW of wind on its system in the near term, which exceeds the amount of power used in its total system on the lightest energy-use days.
PURPA, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, was passed by Congress in 1978 to encourage development of renewable energy technologies as alternatives to burning fossil fuels or building new power plants. The act requires that electric utilities offer to buy power produced from qualifying small-power producers at rates determined by the states. The rate to be paid small-power developers, called an avoided-cost rate, is to be equal to the cost the utility avoids if it would have had to generate the power itself or purchase it from another source.
The rate proposed for the four projects is a non-levelized rate that increases through the 20-year life of the contract. In 2012, the agreement's proposed rate for normal load hours during normal seasons of the year is $58.68 per megawatt-hour, escalating to $117.77 per MWh in 2031. The rate varies to account for heavy and light load hours of the day and heavy and light load seasons of the year.
The commission must ensure the avoided-cost rate is reasonable for utility customers because 100 percent of the price utilities pay to qualifying producers is included in customer rates.

A guide to developing server applications based on Gyrex.
Testing with JUnit
Gyrex supports and recommends writing tests with JUnit. Any JUnit tests must be run as JUnit OSGi plug-in tests in headless mode. Both, PDE Build and Tycho support such execution of tests. In order to assist developers with running and developing tests, Gyrex provides a few helpers for JUnit.
- Bundle
org.eclipse.gyrex.junit(Gyrex 1.2 or higher)
- JUnit (4.10 or higher)
Integration Tests
Some tests may require a full Gyrex environment to be bootstrapped and running. We call those Integration Tests as they test a certain functionality in the system while operating/integrating with other essential services of the platform (for example, the cloud services backed by ZooKeeper).
Writing integration tests with Gyrex should be done by using the JUnit rules. JUnit rules allow defining dependencies/requirements for JUnit tests. Gyrex provides a rule which ensures that a Gyrex environment is bootstrapped and started before a test is run. Consequently, the server will be stopped after a test is finished. It's recommended to implement dependencies as a @ClassRule inside a JUnit suite. This groups integration tests together and start the server only once and stop it after executing all tests.
Bundle Activation
Bundle activation is important when writing tests. Basically, you can not assume that a Gyrex server environment is fully bootstrapped and started in any bundle activator. This shouldn't be done anyway because OSGi is a dynamic environment and bundles can come and go at any time. Thus, make sure that you do not execute any logic during bundle activation which can fail if a Gyrex server environment is not available.
Instead, it's recommended to use Declarative Services or Gyrex Server Roles to trigger lazy activation once an environment is ready.
The following example defines a JUnit suite for running integration test.
import org.eclipse.gyrex.context.tests.internal.AllContextTests; import org.eclipse.gyrex.junit.GyrexServerResource; import org.junit.ClassRule; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.junit.runners.Suite; import org.junit.runners.Suite.SuiteClasses; @RunWith(Suite.class) @SuiteClasses({ /* list test classes here */ }) public class AllServerTests { @ClassRule public static final GyrexServerResource server = new GyrexServerResource(); }

At our purpose designed indoor centre in Aylestone, Leicester we offer a broad selection of pet related activities such as puppy, group and individual dog training courses. Also a wide variety of training and fun products complete with the range of Collards & Purina ProPlan dog and cat food. We also have on our menu both the facilities and the in-house expertise for dog and cat physiotherapy and hydrotherapy facilities.
Some pets have behaviour issues. At WitsEnd® we have the skills to treat dogs and cats with serious behaviour problems such as aggression, house soiling, destructiveness, separation related disorders and phobias.
Piglet and Bigun
Sara Whittaker Dip CABT leads the team of specialists and has worked extensively with dogs and cats for over fifteen years. Sara is also a regular media broadcaster, writer and lecturer. Behaviour consultations are undertaken on an individual basis using the latest concepts in behaviour therapy and include practical work and training where required.
WitsEnd® was founded in Leicester in 1997 and offered cat and dog behaviour training services. Due to the need for on-going support especially with the rehabilitation of dogs, Sara started up WitsEnd® School for Dogs in her back garden in 1998. Following the success of these small compact classes of 4-5 dogs, WitsEnd® School for Dogs moved premises to a 3 storey purpose designed facility at 5 Harold Street, Aylestone, Leicester, Leicestershire.
Sadly Sara's dog, Hannah, an 8 year old GSD had to be put down because of arthritis so Sara installed a hydrotherapy pool in January 2001 to help other dogs in Leicester. In 2005 Shahad Mohammed qualified as a veterinary physiotherapist specialising in dogs & cats so physiotherapy was added to complement the rehabilitation of pets following injury or illness.

I apologize for the lack of posting. I'm not going to lie and say I've been terribly busy, but I have had a cold. The weather won't make up it's mind. The last two weeks it's been 85 degrees, today is cold and rainy. Where is fall?! The other day I was going through the freezer and found my collection of chicken skin and fat. I'd been collecting it so I could cook it down into schmaltz, or rendered chicken fat to use in cooking. Every so often Alex and I will cook a duck, then save all the fat that roasts off for cooking until it's gone. We're totally out. So, schmaltz it is!
About a pound of chicken skin and fat**
1 onion, diced
If your fat is frozen, let thaw enough that you can cut it into pieces about 1". Put all the fat into a large saucepan, and heat on medium low. Cook for a while, maybe an hour, until the fat starts to come out of the skin. Make sure you stir often!
When skin starts to brown a little, add onions, and continue to cook until skin is crispy. Line a strainer with a piece of paper towel, and carefully pour hot fat and crispy skin and onions through. Let skin drain a while, and when liquid fat is cool enough to not melt the bottom of a jar, pour into a mason jar. Use the crispy skin (called gribenes) for whatever you want. They are delicious. I sprinkled them on top of the dumplings and gravy I made the same day (which I will post about later because the recipe is downstairs)
** I usually buy chicken thighs, bone in, skin on, when I want to make something with chicken. I save the bones in one bag, to use for stock, and the fat and skin in another bag, for schmaltz.
Also, the picture at the top of the page is of the liquid fat before it's solidified. It cools down to a nice buttery creamy color.
Split Pea Soup
1 1/2 c green split peas
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 carrot, diced
2 bay leaves
about a pound of smoked pork neckbones, or 1 or 2 ham hocks, well washed
salt and pepper, paprika
garlic croûtons
Wash and drain peas. Put them in a pot with 10 cups of water and all ingredients except croûtons. Simmer, skimming scum off the top, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove bay leaves and discard. Remove pork to a bowl, puree soup until smooth. Return to pot. Pick meat off bones and slice thin, and return to pot with soup. Taste for seasonings, adjust to your taste. I like to add paprika too. Cook about 10 minutes longer, serve with garlic croûtons.
Garlic Croûtons
4 slices bread
4 T butter
4 cloves garlic
pinch of salt
Cut bread up into small cubes. Microwave remaining ingredients, toss with bread cubes. Toast in 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, stirring once.

We kind of knew Toyota wasn't going to stand by and let their big shot at being number one best automaker drop away like they were the last gal left standing at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Although it's rumorific like nothing else and complete conjecture — the weekly mag on all-things Business is reporting Toyota may seek a shot at going "Big" with their own bid for the cash-strapped Detroit-based automaker. BusinessWeek reports:
"Sources close to Toyota say the company is considering its options and looking at different opportunities that they could propose to GM. ""Toyota has no interest in seeing an alliance like this [linking Renault, Nissan and GM] take place," said an executive who asked not to be identified...One Toyota source says the company has "war-gamed" a way to assist GM."
Why do we imagine a scene similar to the one at the beginning of "Tora! Tora! Tora!" where the Japanese generals are all standing around looking at the Pearl Harbor sand tables — except in our imagination it's the RenCen and the Detroit River? [Hat tip to Jeffrey!]
